D&D General You Can Now Make Greyhawk Stuff On DM's Guild!

As of today, third party creators can publish and sell material set in the World of Greyhawk! Dating back to the dawn of Dungeons & Dragons, Greyhawk has an entire chapter devoted to it in the new 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide.

Right now you can check out some legacy official content from Wizards of the Coast, but expect more to start appearing there as soon as the third party creators get their teeth into it.

Dungeons & Dragons May Not Come Back to Greyhawk After 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

Wizards of the Coast does not appear to have future plans for the Greyhawk setting past the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide. Speaking at a press event earlier this month, Dungeons & Dragons game architect Chris Perkins explained that the inclusion of Greyhawk campaign setting material in the...

You can't sell it by using the fan content license IIRC.

Exactly. But it can still be distributed (for free) under the FCL. That's the choice. Free and free, or earn 50% and get locked in forever. It's not an easy choice.

Seems easy to me: do you want to make money or not? Once you make that decision you have your path.

Then I look forward to seeing your material on DMs Guild. To me, the choice isn't as cut and dried.

As of yet I have no desire to make money off D&D. What I make I offer it freely here and on the UA reddit. If I do decide I want to make money (or at least recoup costs), it will likely not be on the Guild as I am generally not interested in WotC IP. If that stance changes, then on the Guild it will go. Clear and simple from my perspective.

I loved this setting, was gritty and hardcore, i played in it with an old ex-hippy DM 1st edition, while listening to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin records. We would start at dawn and play well into the night, even if i had to go to work at the local dinner the next day, good times. I ran it as a DM when 2nd edition (my edition) came out and i was influenced heavily by Gygax and his style. I still might check some of it out looking forward to seeing how it is presented.

That leaves Darksun, Mystara, and Birthright as the major classic settings leftout, long with minor settings like Ghostwalk, Pelinore, Council of Wyrms, etc..., and of course other MtG settings like Duskmourn, Bloomborrow, Eldraine, Tarkir, etc...

Plus new settings coming.

Not exactly. It can be released for free under the Fan Content License. But once it goes up on DMs Guild, it's exclusively there in perpetuity. Hence my indecision as to whether to do it.

... Mystara, and Birthright as the major classic settings leftout,..

Are these major classic settings? They sure don't feel like it to me.

Are these major classic settings? They sure don't feel like it to me.

Mystara is thanks to its large history with Basic, but Birthright was a flash in the pan that only is remembered as the last TSR era setting..

We can debate Birthtight, but Mystara/Known World is a classic setting without a doubt.
